The Rule 5 draft highlights players who major league organizations did not deem worthy of inclusion on 40-man rosters, whether because they lack a carrying tool, they're too far away from the majors or because of poor makeup or work ethic.

But where does that leave the 130 players who did make their way onto 40-man rosters ahead of the Nov. 20 deadline? After all, they're the ones deemed to be big league material. They'll be drawing big league paychecks. They'll be attending big league spring training.

So to give those players their due, we present all 40-man additions (alpha by team) along with a best attribute that got them protected and a key number to monitor as you follow them this season.
